Correspondence (letter to the editor): Hahnemann Forgotten

I was very surprised by this article. For at least 200 years, very effective homeopathic remedies have been known in Germany, such as those for instance that have proven to be very effective in promoting wound healing postoperatively and which are part of the basic knowledge of every homeopathic physician. These were not mentioned in the article (1). Therefore, it would be worthwhile if you could refer to this experience, so that the reader is presented not only with the experience of the ancient Egyptians, but also with the valuable knowledge of a German physician from Saxony, Samuel Hahnemann. Numerous physicians in Germany use homeopathy in their practices, most of whom are members of the German Central Association of Homeopathic Physicians.

Furthermore, from my point of view, it is necessary that readers are better informed about the work of the homeopathic physicians; this would enable cooperation, which is in the interest of the health of the people in our country.
